Speaker 1 (00:01):
Today's daily highlight from Elvis Duran in the morning show.
Speaker 2 (00:05):
Thank you, all right, let's talk about sleep. Okay, I
know I don't get enough. Who are we talking about yesterday?
Speaker 3 (00:12):
Oh?
Speaker 2 (00:12):
Someone else who does a morning show in another city.
She figured it out after all these years, I forgot
who we were talking about. But she has a two
hour nap every single day. Nothing interrupts her one to
two hours per day and it's a ritual, and she
apparently says this is why she feels great. Anyway, you
(00:35):
found this on Reddit right on, Ask me anything. This
person made a conscious decision to sleep eight hours every
single night for a year. So how do I feel?
Speaker 3 (00:46):
Go into it? What did they find?
Speaker 1 (00:48):
Oh?
Speaker 3 (00:48):
Okay, here we go. So what they felt afterwards was
sleeping eight hours every single night for a year. They
feel way more sharp cognitively, work has become more enjoyable
hmm okay, more positive outlook on life, and they feel
more appreciative and grateful, a better ability to connect with
their spouse, They feel more present in their relationship, increased
(01:11):
libido scary.
Speaker 1 (01:15):
Why do you look at?
Speaker 3 (01:16):
I don't know, and overall a feeling of greater confidence
and calm that has made his life a lot more positive. Wow.
I mean anyone in here other than me experienced brain
fog time to time.
Speaker 1 (01:28):
I'm sure.
Speaker 2 (01:29):
Yeah, I'm assuming with more sleep you have less brain fog.
Speaker 3 (01:33):
The most impactful technique that he found to get better
sleep and eight hours when you wake up, Do not
scroll on your phone.
Speaker 1 (01:41):
Yeah, wake up.
Speaker 3 (01:42):
When you wake up, get your butt quote unquote out
of bed and get sunlight immediately. Might be kind of
hard for us waking up in the middle of the night,
but the first thirty minutes after waking up are crucial
to getting a good good night's sleep later that night. Wow.
Never heard that. Oh really other helpful techniques that he used.
Get out of bed immediately when you wake up, Please,
(02:03):
don't just lay there on your phone. And get sunlight
as soon as you can. Kind of hard for us. Wait,
training three times a week, walking ten thousand steps a day,
not eating within four hours of bedtime, that one's huge.
Have you ever tried that? You sleep so much better?
Speaker 4 (02:19):
That is true?
Speaker 2 (02:19):
Oh my god, I was eating loops. I was having
enchilados last night in bed on my pillow. Making sure
his bedroom was cold as cold as possible.
Speaker 1 (02:30):
Day Seldon Cold bedrooms are.
Speaker 3 (02:32):
Good, using a fan for subtle white noise and cooling,
and not keeping the phone in the bedroom. Use a
standalone alarm room.
Speaker 4 (02:41):
Now those alarms don't work, just put it on.
Speaker 3 (02:44):
The other side of the room. That can be Yeah.
And finally prioritizing your sleep, even at the detriment of
going out having fun, your friends are having drinks, Nope,
got to sleep. Well, maybe there's something to be said here.
Speaker 1 (02:56):
Maybe so that means all of us are going to
start going to bed at with seven thirty.
Speaker 2 (03:00):
Well there, so we're hearing for a fact. Through science,
not only do you reduce the what stress is of
life and brain fog during the day, but they say
physically your body restores itself better and it fights off disease, cancer,
all sorts of things if you sleep more.
Speaker 3 (03:19):
And that's where your memories are created, right, I think
we were talking about this. Your memories are stored at night. Really, Yeah,
when you go to sleep, your brain is washed in
spinal fluid and things like that, and the memories that
you had that day, the things that occurred to you
that day are stored in your brain while you sleep.
Speaker 2 (03:36):
Wow, nails them down. I never knew that So this
guy is telling you right now, just a normal guy
that decided to try an experiment. It was for a
year or two for a year, you know, could you even?
I couldn't do it for a night? I wish I could.
Speaker 3 (03:50):
I know that.
Speaker 2 (03:51):
You know, like Alex, for instance, It'll be in the afternoon,
He's like, I'm gonna go take a nap, but I
know he could be down for two and a half
three hours for sure, on the couch, you know, in
the same room, and I'll try to take a nap.
I'm up in ten minutes.
Speaker 3 (04:03):
Oh oh wow. I may go into a little bit
of a sleep, but I can't. I don't know. I
take a little disco naps you have to call that.
Speaker 4 (04:08):
But I feel like sometimes those twenty minute naps make
you feel better than if you take a two to
three hour nap, because if I wa was shot from
a two or three hour I feel like a truck
ran me over.
Speaker 3 (04:18):
Yeah. I don't know. Anyway, sleep important.
Speaker 2 (04:23):
You just gave us some great ideas on how to
try to achieve that same feeling this guy had, So
maybe maybe maybe we'll start thinking more.
Speaker 3 (04:30):
About implementing it. Is the hard happen having the phone
next to you, I think is a big.
Speaker 1 (04:35):
No no for sure. He also it seems like did
a whole lot more in that year than just get
eight hours of sleep. It seems you were saying all
the things that he did to get his eight hours
of sleep, and it included exercise, eating differently, like all
kinds of stuff that all went into it. I would
like to see all the benefits of all those things,
but I feel like I want to know what just
sleep alone would do.
Speaker 2 (04:56):
I wonder, Hey, drinking and sleep. You know how drinking
can affect your sleep like alcohol?
Speaker 3 (05:03):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (05:03):
Oh yeah, yeah, you say, oh, I'll have a couple
of glasses wine and then go take a nap and
go to sleep. Well, you may go right to sleep,
but you will wake up. I mean they're saying you
you will go into the deepest of the sleep of
the night, and then you'll wake up like in one
or two in the morning, and you're like, I can't sleep.
And that's sort of how alcohol can affect your sleep
patterns as well.
Speaker 4 (05:23):
So I don't think pizza at night affects it.
Speaker 3 (05:28):
What's scary? What if you get it? You're eight hours
of sleep, just not in a row.
Speaker 2 (05:32):
Like what if you get like like two incremental I
was wondering that same time.
Speaker 4 (05:37):
I don't think it works the same because you're not
in rams. Do you have to get into that ram sleep,
don't you?
Speaker 1 (05:41):
But there are different people who say different things, because
some people do say just eight hours in general is good,
and some people say you need it all in a row.
I don't know.
Speaker 3 (05:48):
I don't know I will anyway.
Speaker 2 (05:51):
Let's sleep, you need it, you know, Let's do this now,
Let's just take a nap right here on there.
Speaker 3 (05:59):
You're not sleep being you're pretending to. Let's really just
go to sleep. Could actually fall? He does? He falls
us during the show All the Time experiment ones where
I laid on the floor during now one of about podcast,
the fifteen minute morning show, and I sat there and
I literally fell asleep within forty five.
Speaker 1 (06:13):
Cents he did, and twice when we were on the air,
not trying to sleep.
Speaker 3 (06:16):
I can do it. I could curl up right over
there right now and go to sleep. No way, Yes,
I could absolutely for ten minutes. I don't know.
Speaker 2 (06:23):
I don't know because I'm in a room pull you know,
loud people. But I think you could do it.
Speaker 3 (06:28):
What do we have a show to do, okay, we
got a break coming up here.
Speaker 1 (06:33):
Well, also with the sleep thing, sleeping for a short
amount of time, it increases your cortisol, right, which is
your stress chemical, and that keeps you from losing weight,
and it makes you fatter than if you actually just
got your sleep.
Speaker 2 (06:47):
We see, we hear these facts, yeah, and we assume
they are true, but we don't we don't launch onto them.
Speaker 4 (06:54):
And don't you think it's different for each person because
everyone's made up differently and everybody needs different ounce of
sleep to function.
Speaker 1 (07:02):
When I get eight hours of sleep, I know I'm
sleeping too long because that's a very long time for
me because I start to have crazy dreams and I think,
in my head, please wake up, you are you're sleeping
too long.
Speaker 2 (07:12):
Get up, okay, Froggy. A lot of people are asking
about that back brace that you're talking about, the same
one that Danielle and Gandhi bought and never wore. Right, So,
but you're saying it has it's worked for you, right?
Speaker 3 (07:28):
Very well?
Speaker 5 (07:29):
Yes, I notice when I am slouching now where before
I didn't, I'll notice and I'm like, oh wait a second,
and it feels better to me now when I set
up straight from wearing that. You don't have to wear
it all the time. It's not something you wear twenty
four hours a day. You're supposed to. It trains you
into learning to hold your posture better.
Speaker 2 (07:45):
So it's a training thing. So you wear it. It's
like a training brawl of you wear it sorts. Yeah,
you wear it for several hours a day if you can,
right you could?
Speaker 3 (07:53):
Yeah?
Speaker 5 (07:53):
Yeah, you started like thirty minutes a day, and then
you work your way up and then before you know,
you realize you are standing more. You're standing taller because
you're used to wearing that.
Speaker 3 (08:02):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (08:03):
More.
Speaker 3 (08:04):
And as we have this conversation, are we all sitting
up a little bit? Yeah? That works. E's driving to
work right now.
Speaker 2 (08:09):
High We caught you right to his steering wheel.
Speaker 3 (08:12):

they find it?
